STOP - this is VERSION 1 - Go to VERSION 2 of this mix:

https://archive.org/details/DarkStar_1972


============================================================
Nearly every Grateful Dead Dark Star jam from 1972 mixed into a singular 10 hour listening experience.

When I put this together, I was under the impression that I had every Dark Star performed in 72, but as you'll see below in the comments, I was missing a few. I'll try to acquire the missing recordings and re-do this so it is a complete recording of every 1972 Dark Star. My apologies for the error.

UPDATE: people are asking for a guide or track listing for the mix. I still have the project file and will try to find time to write it up.
NOTE: please see the comments below - a listener has actually worked out not only the order... but also the timestamps for each cross fade. Congrats to you FelaFan you certainly know this music!
The jams are indeed intact - meaning, I didn't apply any arrangement. My process was this: * drop all Dark Star recordings into software * locate all vocal sections and cut them out - except the last * taking all jam parts and mixing them together - in some cases I had to cut out a min or two so I could locate a section that would mix well. All mixed parts are just cross fades, maybe a bit of EQ cutting within some of the fades. The goal was to mix them in chronological order, and I thought I had... but when I checked the mix in my software... I see that the files had some variations in naming, and that some of the dates are out of order. People have asked if I'll do another one - I may, but time is limited and being able to collect a full year of a song is not an easy task. I was very fortunate to have found the 1972 collection that someone else had spent time organizing. So - if any of you can provide a different year's worth of Dark Star - probably pre 76 so there are enough... and I'll see what I can do!
